AJ Dybantsa Ruled Out for Wizards Debut With Ankle Sprain

Washington Wizards rookie AJ Dybantsa remains sidelined and has been officially ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors due to an ankle sprain. The injury delays the highly anticipated regular-season debut for Dybantsa, who was impressive during the preseason after scoring in double digits in all four of Washington's exhibition games. The Wizards, coming off a season-opening victory over Milwaukee, continue to manage his recovery timeline cautiously.
